Conclusions
Conclusions
• In Yang-Mills theory there is a systematic low-energy effective stringtheory (analogous to chiral perturbation theory in QCD), which describesthe dynamics of the Goldstone modes of the spontaneously brokentranslation symmetry of the string world-sheet.
• The effective theory has been tested at the two-loop level with veryhigh precision using the Luscher and Weisz multi-level simulationtechnique, which led to the determination of low-energy parameter r0.
• Strings connecting static charges in higher representations may decaybefore they break completely.
• A constitutent gluon model accounts for the “brown muck”surrounding a screened color charge.
• The exceptional group G (2) is the smallest one with a trivial center.One observes Casimir scaling at the few percent accuracy level.A fundamental 7 quark can bescreened by three adjoint 14 gluons.
The fundamental G (2) string breaks by the simultaneous creation of six
gluons without string decay.
